Turbocharging the Law of Attraction

What keeps you awake at night? Are you: frustrated, fed-up and tired
of the way things are now? Tired of settling for less in your personal and
professional lives?  Looking for
solutions that work?
Since the movie The Secret, the Law of Attraction is a
hot topic. The idea is that everything in life has a vibration frequency and
that Like things attract other Like things. We give off our own vibration
frequency generated by the sum total of our beliefs. Based on this concept,
every experience in our life is invited by our own beliefs. There are books and
courses taught by people calling themselves “Law Of Attraction Experts.” They
teach that all you have to do is think about the things you want and they will
start to show-up in your life.
There is more to it. To effectively use this law you need
more information. There is a difference between believing and positive wishing.
How do you go from want or wish to Belief? Beliefs (positive or negative) are
called Beliefs because you believe them to be true!
Energy goes where the attention flows. As a licensed
psychotherapist, I know about self-fulfilling prophecies. For example, if
someone believed that he can’t attain a certain goal, it’s unlikely he would
put much effort into it. Failure could result. Another person who believed that
she could succeed wouldn’t quit when obstacles are encountered. She would
continue until she reached her goal.
The idea that our subconscious mind is the driving force in
our lives is not new. There is evidence that we create circumstances in our lives
that match our expectations. We generally get what we expect to get based on
our beliefs, not what we hoped or wished we believed.
When studying spiritual beliefs, I found much the same idea,
with an added feature. I learned that there is a creative power greater than
just our own individual minds, and that we can use it. In fact, we are
constantly using it whether we are conscious of it or not. This power is known
by many names. Some call it their “Higher Power”. Others call it Universal Life
Force. Some call it God. Many teachings claim that this power responds to our
thoughts. For example in the Christian Bible, it says “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe
that you have received it,
and it will be yours.” (Mark
11:23-25).  Other Spiritual teachings
offer similar ideas.
Here’s the key! Life is primarily an emotional experience,
not an intellectual one; your feelings reflect your beliefs. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or afraid, you aren’t feeling safe. You then attract people and circumstances that match feeling unsafe.
The good news is that you can learn how to take personal control of your own inner emotional state. As you experience positive emotions you automatically Turbo charge the Law of Attraction in your favor to attract and accept every good thing life can offer.

~ by Bruce R. Fredenburg, a Staff Minister at the Center For Spiritual Living in San Clemente, a Licensed
Marriage, Family and Child
Therapist, and a Life Coach. Fredenburg will offer a workshop on Saturday,
August 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Center for Spiritual Living Capistrano
Valley called Turbocharging the Law of Attraction, offering four steps to
getting what you want plus the secret to activating the Law of Attraction. Cost
is $97.
